Necromancer Of The Shadows



Booomm-! Booomm-!

Thunder strikes continue to rain down on her golden barrier as Layal tried to open the core barrier of the formation.

"Arghhh" beside her Austin was withering in pain as tears continues to stream down from his eyes.

His left shoulder was completely missing and blood was flowing out from there uncontrollably.

If not for the fact that Layal dragged him inside her golden barrier he would have been long dead because of the raining thunder.

Crack... Crack...

Cold sweat started to appear on the beautiful face of Layal as she heard the cracking sound of her golden barrier.

"Open already" Layal shouted and finally the core barrier was opened.

Crack... Cracked

Just as the core barrier was opened the golden barrier protecting her and Austin was shattered.

When the barrier was opened she didn't stop even for a second, and jumped inside the barrier while dragging Austin using her mana.

Austin cried pitifully because of being dragged like garbage, and the wound on his body became even worse.

Layal didn't pay any attention to crying Austin and instantly closed the barrier after entering inside.

Booomm-!

Just as the barrier was closed a thunder arc came striking down on it.

Layal sighed in relief after finally entering the barrier. This barrier was more powerful than other barriers, and will not be destroyed until the formation runs out of energy.

They used many cores when they created formation so that it won't run out of energy during the fight.

Even though the barrier was consuming a lot of energy each time it block a thunder strike, she was sure they will be safe inside it since the duration of this kind of skill can't be very long.

"Arghh" She glanced at Austin who was withering In pain and took out a high grade healing potion.

"You better report all the work I did here to the hunter association so that my guild can be promoted to the gold rank. Do you understand?" she said while pushing the bottle of the potion into his mouth.

Even though Layal and Austin escaped death using the core barrier, other hunters who were present in that area were not lucky like them.

There were two teams of hunters in that area, a total of nine hunters.

The moment the orc used thunder tempest skill their fate was sealed.

They tried to run away from there, but when the thunder came raining down from the sky they had no chance of escaping.

Their bodies turned into ashes after being struck by the thunder arcs again and again.

There was even a B+ rank hunter there, but even he was only able to survive for the first three seconds using all of his skills before he turned into ashes because of the many strikes of thunder.

Evan was a little distance away from the place that was covered by the thunderclouds.

He watched with his eyes glowing as to how thunder strikes destroyed everything that came into their path.

The mountains were destroyed and the ground turned into a lightning zone.

It was the first time he saw the full power attack of an A ranker.

Seeing how the mountains were destroyed by the thunder, he imagined what would have happened if he was in the attack range of those thunderclouds.

Actually, he doesn't even need to think because he already knew the answer.

'I will die without being able to do anything' Evan thought and remembered how he told Oliva he will destroy her in six months.

'Did I dig my grave with my own hands' Evan can't help but think remembering Oliva is an A+ rank hunter even stronger than A ranker.

But this thought disappeared as soon as it came into his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

'It is better this way' Evan thought and turned around to leave from there.

The only difference was that instead of going into the wilderness to hunt monsters, he was going back to Aquaville City.

After forty seconds since the activation of the skill, the thunderclouds finally started to disappear from the sky.

When Layal saw this, visible relief appeared on her face. There was just ten percent energy left in the formation.

If the skill lasted for more time it would have been troublesome for them.

Austin's wound also stopped bleeding because of the high ranking healing potion, but now he was missing his entire left shoulder.

But this kind of injury can be healed. He just needs to ask a high ranking hunter with healing skills, and he will be able to get back his lost shoulder.

After the thunderclouds disappeared, Layal disabled the barrier and came out from it.

Austin sat there because he was not fully recovered.

The orc passed out earlier after it used its skill. Layal went towards it with a cold look on her face.

Feeling the weak aura of the orc, she was sure that along with mana this orc also used some of its life force as a supplement to increase the power of the skill.

It was fully determined to kill them, and it would have been successful if not for the protection of the core barrier.

Layal came near the orc while taking out a sword from her storage ring.

Without any hesitation on her face, she killed the passed out orc in one fell swipe.

After killing the orc she put it away in her storage ring, and looked at Austin who was sitting with a pale face.

"I will go and see how Aaron is doing," Layal said to him and flew away from there.

Fifteen minutes later she came back with Aaron. He was also slightly injured but nothing serious.

With the help of Layal, he killed the A rank orc easily. When Aaron saw Austin he sighed in relief that he was still alive.

When he saw those thunderclouds earlier, he was scared that Layal and Austin will not be able to survive.

"Don't forget all my contributions, I hope I will get the news of my guild being promoted to gold rank soon" Layal said to Aaron who was helping Austin.

"Don't worry, I will try my best. You did contributed the most in this mission. From creating the formation to saving Austin. I will do everything that is within my power" Aaron said seriously after hearing Layal.

Layal nodded her head and flew away from there.

While flying she closed her eyes and tried to sense a mark that she left on a particular hunter when she saw him this morning.

'He is not far away' Layal thought and flew in the direction she can sense her mark.
